An important part of growing bananas is maintaining loose soil for rapid root growth and charcoal does that great and seems to last forever.
I also use it for my orchids and always have several blooms everyday of the year.

It's even more impressive when compared it to the local United States Tropical Agricultural Research Station's average of 25 lb using drip irrigation with soluble 20-20-20+ micros and Osmocote slow release 19-16-12.
